Was a time, not that long ago, when your humble blogger would employ “active transportation advocacy” in response to the fence currently blocking walker/roller access at Rio Bravo and 2nd with something along the lines of writing/calling NMDOT/BernCo and shouting “Lose the fucking fence, god damnit, now! What’s your fucking problem?!?”

Those days have fortunately, for everyone involved, passed.

Still not very adept at active transportation advocacy, my current effort essentially just changes the curse words to “at the earliest convenience” and “pretty please,” but this strategy reflecting age and perhaps a smidge of wisdom is a start to maybe actually getting something accomplished and is definitely doing wonders for my resting heart rate and blood pressure.

Stay safe and sane out there, fellow active transportation folks/activists and the government folks receiving our sage feedback in all its various forms of delivery.
